The OPT Model

The Optimum Performance Training (OPT) model was created by the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) and is based on current scientific and medical research. It is a concept that incorporates multiple types of training in an integrated, progressive system. The OPT model consists of three levels: Stabilization, Strength and Power. The next few blog entries will go into the OPT model in some detail, so this will illustrate how a personal training program developed under this system will help you reach your fitness and athletic conditioning goals in a safe and effective manner.
